TTR antibody

Catalog No. ABIN458186

The Pig Polyclonal anti-TTR antibody is suitable to detect TTR in samples from Human. It has been validated for IEP and RID.

Quick Overview for TTR antibody (ABIN458186)

Target: TTR (Transthyretin (TTR))

Reactivity: Human

Host: Pig

Clonality: Polyclonal

Conjugate: This TTR antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Immunoelectrophoresis (IEP), Radial Immunodiffusion (RID)

Product Details anti-TTR Antibody

Purpose: Swine anti Human prealbumin

Specificity: Precipitating polyclonal Swine antiSerum to Human transthyretin (prealbumin).

Cross-Reactivity (Details): Inter-species cross-reactivity is a normal feature of antibodies to plasma proteins, since homologous proteins of different species frequently share antigenic determinants. Crossreactivity of this antiSerum has not been tested in detail.

Characteristics: In immunoelectrophoresis and double radial immunodiffusion against normal human serum the precipitin line obtained shows a reaction of full identity with the purified immunogen. The product does not react with any other proteins component of human serum or plasma. In precipitating techniques as immunoelectrophoresis and single and double radial immunodiffusion (Mancini, Ouchterlony) to identify the presence of transthyretin or to determine its concentration. The presence of non-precipitating antibodies has not been assayed. This does not exclude the use of the antiserum in non-precipitating antibody-binding techniques if proper controls are included.

Purification: Delipidated, heat inactivated, lyophilized, stable whole antiserum

Immunogen: Transthyretin is the fastest protein in the immunoelectrophoresis pattern of human serum. It consists of four identical polypeptide chins with no carbohydrate. The molecular weight is 55,000 and the concentration in normal serum ranges from 100 to 400 mug/ml. It can bind thyroxine and retinal and its concentration is reduced in severe liver diseases. Freund's complete adjuvant is used in the first step of the immunization procedure.

Isotype: IgG

Application Details

Application Notes: Precipitation assays. In immunoelectrophoresis use 2 μL human plasma or equivalent against 120 μL antiserum. In double radial immunodiffusion use a rosette arrangement with 10 μL antiserum in 3 mm diameter center well and 2 μL plasma samples (neat and serially diluted) in 2 mm diameter peripheral wells. In single radial immunodiffusion use 1 percent antiserum in the gel.

Restrictions: For Research Use only

Handling

Format: Lyophilized

Reconstitution: Reconstitute the lyophilized antiserum by adding 1 mL sterile distilled water.

Buffer: Delipidated, heat inactivated, lyophilized, stable whole serum. No preservative added. Total protein and IgG concentrations in the antiserum are comparable to those of normal pooled swine serum. No foreign proteins added.

Preservative: Without preservative

Storage: 4 °C,-20 °C

Storage Comment: The lyophilized antiserum is shipped at ambient temperature and may be stored at +4°C, prolonged storage at or below -20°C. Dilutions may be prepared by adding phosphate buffered saline (PBS, pH 7.2). Repeated thawing and freezing should be avoided. If a slight precipitation occurs upon storage, this should be removed by centrifugation. It will not affect the performance of the antiserum. Diluted antiserum should be stored at +4°C, not refrozen, and preferably used the same day.
